Chelsea had the option to sign Sancho permanently but, despite their interest in keeping him beyond the summer, they were unable to reach an agreement on personal terms. ..Continue Reading
As a result, they will pay a fee to Manchester United to terminate their contractual obligation.
Sancho is set to return to Old Trafford at the end of the month, though he is expected to seek a new club for the upcoming season, having fallen out of favor at United.
Reports indicate that West Ham has shown interest in signing the winger, with manager Graham Potter looking to strengthen his attacking options following a disappointing end to the campaign.
‘Grateful for the experience,’ Sancho told his followers on X and Instagram this evening.
‘Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home – teammates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward.
‘Truly grateful, Thank you Blues [love heart emoji, praying emoji]’
Sancho arrived at Manchester United in 2021 with high expectations following a high-profile transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
However, the former Manchester City academy player has struggled to make a significant impact at Old Trafford, scoring just nine goals in 58 Premier League appearances.
With one year left on his current contract, Sancho’s future remains uncertain.
The England international played a key role in Chelsea’s Europa Conference League triumph, finding the net in their 4-1 comeback victory over Real Betis.
Speaking to the media after the win, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca admitted he was unsure about what lies ahead for Sancho.
‘I don’t know,’ Maresca told reporters when asked for an update.
‘I said that when in the last weeks you asked me about different players, I always said the same. And the reason why is because it’s the truth.
‘It’s not the moment, we have the final. Then in 24 hours, 48 hours, we’re going to start to talk about the future.
‘But at this moment, there is not any thought or any decision made on Jadon or any different players.’
